Inner Aspect: The Articulation of VP
ISBN: 9789048185498 / Angielski / Twarda / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Finishing this book was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. It took far too long from original idea to page proofs and suffered from being relegated to small corners of my life. It was very rarely on the front burner. Since I started working on this topic in 1991, there has been a lot of interesting work done on the areas of the articulation of VP, phrase structure mirroring event structure, the use of functional categories to represent Aktionsart, and many other areas that the research presented here touches on. The hardest thing about doing a project of this size is to accept...

Austronesian languages have long raised interesting questions for generative theories of syntax and morphology.

This book represents the culmination of an extended period of field work on the Palauan language, carried out while I was a graduate student at the University of California at San Diego. The book was born as a short term paper written in 1982; from a forgettable infancy, that paper grew and grew, reaching the age of majority in my dissertation at the end of 1985. Some of its offspring have gone off on their own, as indepen dent papers, as course materials, or as thoughts that have not yet com pletely materialized. Some have been disowned. The full adulthood of this study of Palauan is...

Murrinhpatha Morphology and Phonology
ISBN: 9781501511394 / Angielski / Twarda / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Descriptive grammars analyse the systematic elements of language, and in general this aim for systematicity leads authors to focus on categorical rules of syntax, morphology and phonology. This stands in apparent contrast to variationist linguistic research, where it has been shown that speakers produce variable patterns on every level of language. However, a key finding of variationism is that the distribution of variables is not random, but systematic: quantitative analysis of variables' conditioning factors provides insight into the relationships between different parts of the language....
